Cuba, 90 miles off the coast of Florida, has been shrouded in mystery for over 50 years. But by all reports, the sleeping giant is waking up. So fasten your seat belts because Macbeth has gone to Havana, and it is burning hot. Hot girls, hot guys, smoking classic old cars...I mean, what's not to love? Cuba is on fire! We're just glad to have caught it early.

We went on the road with one of our favorite photogs, Adam Elmakias to check out the AMPAs this summer in Cleveland. Let’s kick off this season with our #MacbethAP sneaker, available at zappos.com! Check out Adam’s adventures below. July 21st, 20159:00 AM – Arrived to Cleveland Arrived at the venue as early as possible…. I never like to be late. All I had to bring were my credentials, cell phone, and camera. Simple and light. 11:00 PM - Rehearsals I’m here with Tom, Jack, and Alex. Tom tours with All Time Low and they let me come hang for a bit sometimes. The rehearsals the night before went kinda late, I think this was at 11pm. July 22nd, 20157 PM -- SHOWTIME This setup isn’t what it really seems. I wasn’t using the flash in this shot, I actually had to change my lenses quickly and didn’t have time to take my flash off Panic! At the Disco -- 7:00 pm I usually creep around on stage. Front row to Panic! At The Disco, no complaints. 11:30 PM – It’s a wrap-up! So many people showed up. I HAD to get a panorama of the room.

The past weekend 30,000 people travelled to Meerhout, Belgium for Groezrock festival, the number one Punk and Hardcore festival in Europe. We hosted 1 of the 4 stages at this famous festival. 10 bands that played our stage won their slot through a band competition. This year the following bands got the opportunity to present themselves to their core audience; The Tramps, Still Bust, Fathoms, My Extraordinary, Kids Insane, The Ignored, Moments, River Jumpers, Shell Beach and the band that got the most votes and therefore won our killer competition came all the way from italy; Edward in Venice .
Headlining the Macbeth stage powered by Blackstar where long time Macbeth family bands, Chunk! No Captain Chunk!, INVSN, Blitz Kids & Bury Tomorrow.
This year was a tremendous success and we’d like to thank all the bands that came all the way to Belgium, you guys kicked ass!
Also we’d like to thank the Macbeth – Blackstar Amplification crew for working their balls off, Hans Maes the promotor of Groezrock and his colleagues, Paul Andrew Hewitt and his team of barbers for running the Macbeth Barbershop powered by Uppercut Deluxe, John Wood Cases for the flight cases, Marianne Harris for the awesome photos, Hubrecht, Laurens and Anton Gun for the videos , Pistonhead Lager for the beers and all our friends and bands for stopping by and hanging out in our backstage lounge area!
